I truly love making cakes for friend's birthdays especially when the birthday belongs to a Vixen! This cake was to feed at least 35 people so needless to say it is much larger than it appears. Diameter is 12" of pure delicious chocolate cake. Frosting is a hazelnut butter cream and of course the cake had a hazelnut liquor dousing to match. It was loved by all, especially the guest of honor, who might be slightly younger in this photo!

After cake we promptly found ourselves dancing the night away at a very popular gay dance club, guess chocolate will do that to a girl :)

The vision for this cake creation has been in my thoughts for about three months. In July we spent a week on the Oregon coast with our dear friends including their soon to be two year old adorable boy. He was all about the fish. Fish in the ocean, fish at the aquarium, fish in the souvenir shops, fishy, fishy fishy. The cake was vanilla with my stand-by favorite buttercream frosting. All of the embellishments were edible, that is if you like sugar candy! Super fun cake to make and share. The two year old's comment? "Whoa...." "Fishy"

I wish when I had turned 21 I was as composed as the young young lady is! In Boise on Spring Break from Cal Poly she came to celebrate with her elders. Not only is she beautiful but she's smart! One of three students a warded the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) in STEM Undergraduate Research Scholarship for Summer 2018. It was a true honor to create this cake for her to celebrate her coming of age party. Happy Birthday Miranda!!

This cake was a challenge. I typically make my cakes the day OF the party. I know they will be fresh, the decorations will be "just so" and if they aren't I can tweak them at the party.....not the case with this one. I would not be there AND it had to be done a day and a half before the event.....the pressure! This is exactly why I don't sell cakes for money, though I heard this one was a success even disguised as a gluten free chocolate delight!
